Chapter 225: Ace: Class 209 Submarine
Major Mohammed Rahul stood on the bridge and looked at the radar operator on one side without blinking, and after a moment, the radar operator shook his head regretfully and reported: "The signal is gone, it should be underwater." ”
Rahul was not surprised to hear this, in other words, if the collision just now really made the Indian submarine obey, it would be a real surprise.
Because he knew two days ago that this time the task would not be easy.
Yes, the Indian submarine entered the coast of Bangladesh and was discovered by the Bengalis only two days later, but it was not the Bangladeshi navy that found them, but the merchant ships and fishermen who were coming and going to the coast of Bangladesh.
There is no way, who asked India to send a conventional submarine, even if it can dive, it can't rely on the fission reaction of nuclear fuel like a nuclear submarine, and it doesn't have to worry about no power, so it can stay in the water all the time without moving.
In the eighties, when there was no AIP (not dependent on aerodynamics), the diesel engine on the conventional submarine was inseparable from the driving medium of air, and because of this, the conventional submarine that has been submerged for a long time must surface on time for ventilation.
Just like the whales in the ocean, they have to pop up from time to time to brush up on their presence.
The Indian submarine was not exempt from vulgarity, so it was seen by passing Bangladeshi fishermen and boarders when they brushed up their presence, and the news was quickly reported to the Bangladesh Navy.
The Bangladesh Navy, which has just obtained two submarine hunters and formed its initial combat capability, sees that the Indian submarine is less than 80 nautical miles away from Chittagong, and it simply does not regard itself as an outsider.
So Bangladesh used two days to make a careful plan, vowing not to make a move, and as soon as he made a move, he would let Ah Sange understand what pain is.
Therefore, this evening, Major Rahul commanded the 037 anti-submarine reinforced hunting submarine with the port number 336 to guard the waters outside Chittagong early in the morning, and turned on the sea search radar as soon as it was dark, and it did not take long to discover the periscope of the Indian submarine sticking out, so Rahul commanded the 336 ship to rush over, preparing to break the comprehensive periscope of the Indian submarine first.
Some people may say that the submarine hunting in Bangladesh will not also find damage.
Damage is inevitable, but it also makes the reason for Bangladesh's prepared night voyage collision with the ship established in advance, and there is no need to explain too much when holding the broken Indian submarine comprehensive periscope, and those extremely sensitive international media can know with their toes what the Indian submarine is doing lying on the shore of Bangladesh.
At that time, it will only be India that will lose face, because the fact that a submarine known for its concealment can be smashed into the comprehensive periscope by someone is definitely a big scandal that is disgraced and thrown to my grandmother's house.
As for Bangladesh, it will not only make India suffer a dumb loss, but also gain the sympathy of the international community, so as to put pressure on India and not go too far.
It can be said that Bangladesh has done enough for this, there is no way, the sorrow of a small country is here, you can show your muscles with a big country, but you can't go too far, otherwise you will suffer after all.
Therefore, Bangladesh's practice of breaking the comprehensive periscope of an Indian submarine with this kind of is also a helpless move, but it is a pity that they think well, but underestimate the reaction capability of Indian submarines.
Unexpectedly, the emergency dive was completed not long after it was discovered, and when the 336 ship rushed to the location of the Indian submarine just now, except for the waves of water, Mao did not find a single one.
Rahul's face became difficult to look at at that time, because he realized that his side might be underestimated, because the "Foxtrot" class equipped by India simply did not have such a quick reaction ability.
Since it is not the "Foxtrot" class, then what kind of submarine will it be?
Rahul breathed a sigh of relief, if it was really that submarine, this time it would really meet an opponent, so Rahul calmed down and ordered: "Hull sonar, start, carry out active detection!"
"Yes!"
The hull sonar operator responded immediately, activating the old "Tamir" sonar inside the hull, and immediately "banging" pulsing sound waves were broadcast underwater.
"Bang~~Bang~~Bang~~"
Not long after the Bangladesh Navy's 336 ship conducted an active sonar search, a strong pulse sound wave hit the Indian submarine that was diving under the sea.
Like a bell ringing with a stick, it only shook the Indian sonar operator in the boat to the point that he had to take off his headset and shake his head in pain.
The other officers and men in the boat were also uncomfortable, although they did not have the same strong reaction as the sonar operator, but the impact of the sound waves hitting the bulkhead was still very large, and more importantly, this blow also represented another meaning, that is, they were locked.
Just as a fighter jet is locked by enemy radar, the only target that can be locked on to the ocean floor is sonar, which is why active sonar is often called attack sonar, because the ability to actively emit sound waves and use the reflected waves to determine the direction of the target is itself a kind of locking.
So the "bang~~bang~~" sound from time to time on the bulkhead is not so much a noise as a death knell!
"What should we do, Sir Singh, should we float?"
Faced with such a crisis, Kalimantan looked at his top boss, the real commander of the submarine, Lieutenant Colonel Morochig Singh, with a delicately trimmed beard and a cold face.
Originally, Singh was still resting in his captain's lounge, but the sudden emergency dive lifted Singh from the bed to the ground, who was asleep.
There is no way, the action of emergency diving is too big, even if Singer Yoga is practiced well, it can't stand the amazing action of the submarine's head-down.
After such a toss, he felt that he couldn't sleep, so Singh simply took over the command from Kalimantan, but before he could understand what had just happened, Bangladesh's active sonar completely enveloped his submarine.
If Singh had commanded the previous "Foxtrot"-class submarines, it is estimated that he would have commanded the submarine to float long ago, because the "Foxtrot"-class submarines were in such a bad state, and Singh was very worried that he would break up the old bones with a violent operation.
However, the problem is that he is not now commanding the old-fashioned "Foxtrot" class, but the German-made 209-class Type 1500 submarine "Xishuma", which was commissioned just last year, which is not only India's best conventional submarine, but also one of the most advanced equipment in the world.
Because of this, Singh's unit can be called the ace of the Indian Navy, and the "Heshuma" under his command is the trump card of trump cards.
Since it is a trump card, it must have the pride of a trump card, just being locked by sonar and admitting defeat, Singh felt that he had not reached such a point of shame, so he took the chart and looked at it, and did not pay attention to Kalimantan at all, but ordered the operating non-commissioned officer behind him: "Full speed, hide in the submarine mountain range on the right side of the trough two nautical miles away." ”
